        @truetypezk: My personal experience, I used a matched last name for the supplementary application. I was asked for ID verification.
        
        apple0604 on 08/07/2020 - 17:01
        
        @Purple: It might just be random. I was told so but didn't believe it. My dad has the same surname and I was still asked for ID verification.
        
        apple0604 on 08/07/2020 - 17:00
        
        @truetypezk: No I didn't. They were for my mum and dad. Have you cancelled? I wonder if they would leave notes in your account and if you apply again in the future you would required to provide ID.

        @apple0604: I think you meant to reply to me. I haven't cancelled yet. Was thinking of just letting it sit for a month or two and then cancelling so that it doesn't seem as suspicious. I think if I apply again though it'll have to be in a verifiable identity.
        
        apple0604 on 08/07/2020 - 20:33
        
        @daanish: Yes, I meant to reply to you. It is a good idea to let it sit for a month or two. I think it might also depends on who process your application. BTW, it was a few years ago when I applied for supp cards for my mum and dad. Not recent.
        
        daanish on 08/07/2020 - 18:19
        
        @truetypezk: Nope - used the same surname for all my applications. I think it might just a random thing or a case of AmEx responding to the crackdowns in shonky lending that have come out recently.
        
        They said they want to check the applicant for gambling history as a protection my (primary cardholder) security.

Did anyone notice quite several previously eligible/Shop Small merchants suddenly no longer on the SS map?
- hamza23 on 15/07/2020 - 12:39
  
  Yeah, a small restaurant near me is no longer on there. I have no idea why as they accept AmEx and they aren't a chain or anything.
  - zrmx on 15/07/2020 - 12:47
    
    Just realised the much popular Wu's Pharmacy is no longer on the map too.
    
    I wonder if Amex has a cap on how many SS transactions each business can have.
    - hamza23 on 15/07/2020 - 13:15
      
      Not something I remember seeing previously. The one near me certainly wouldn't have had too many transactions, on AmEx map it was listed as it's business name which was a family trust that had nothing to do with the restaurant name.

        EzyMart in Pitt St (near Bridge St)
        Convenience store on Kent St (in front of InSki)
        189 Kent St (no surcharge I think)

- lainey13 on 15/07/2020 - 22:00
  
  Yes I just did today! Previously had a local fruit shop on there, now it's gone. Didn't want to try it in case it there was no offer so went elsewhere. (My world has gotten a lot smaller since lockdown…)
- Steempy on 16/07/2020 - 10:23
  
  Yes. My local fruit and veg shop has disappeared from the map. They were on there at the start of the current promotion. I purchased on one card on the 2nd of July and got the credit. I used my other card yesterday and am waiting to see if I get the $5 credit on that one.
  
  I'm hoping the map isn't right. If it is, it would mean that none of the places I usually take advantage of this offer are eligible anymore.
  - Purple on 16/07/2020 - 10:34
    
    When you used the other card yesterday, did you receive a confirmation email from Amex?
    
    I have called Amex this morning to raise a case regarding Merchants were in the maps at the start of the shopsmall promotion, now they are not longer in the map.
    I provided Amex examples of 10 Merchant's business name including Wu Pharmacy. Amex give me a case number and said she will forward to marketing for investigation.
    - Steempy on 16/07/2020 - 10:54
      
      I received the email (looking for it now, I realised I shopped on Tuesday, not yesterday) and the transaction has posted in the Amex app. No sign of the credit as yet, but going by the others they're usually not same day.
      - Purple on 16/07/2020 - 11:13
        
        @Steempy: Thanks for the reply. I think you will get your credit back because your have received the confirmation email from Amex. Please report back.
        I am a bit skeptical about using it if the merchants are on longer the map.
        
        Steempy on 17/07/2020 - 15:39

        @Steempy: Was the merchant already off the map on Tuesday? But you still got the email? Because I only noticed a lot of them disappeared on Wednesday. We also made several purchases on Tuesday and received emails for them, but those merchants were not on the map anymore when we checked on Wednesday. I’m not sure if they were there on Tuesday as I didn’t think to check then.

I looked on Monday or Tuesday night and noticed some other stores that I expected to be on the map weren't, but I didn't notice if the fruit and veg store was there at the time. I went back to the map last night thinking there may have been a glitch, that's when I noticed the fruit and veg shop was missing.
New Chump on 16/07/2020 - 11:10

If you buy online from a participating in-store business, assume no credit applies?

The only thing good about this lockdown business is that it's cramping the usual damage SS does to my amexes.
- Yola on 16/07/2020 - 18:24

There are so many shops that are on the list suddenly disappear on shopsmall map? Is this a glitch on the system or they purposely remove them, it feels weird that some random shop like butcher shop or fruit shop or newsagency or supermarket not on there, I can't figure out why they are necessarily need to remove them if you compare to other more popular shops

Hey All,

I've also raised this issue with AMEX with certain shops going missing around mid last week.

The consultant was great and was updating me everyday. Looks like they were doing system work behind the scenes which made some shops go offline.

They should all be back up and running now.

Cheers!

  Was that 4 at the same retailer with 4 different cards or 4 at different retailers with 1 card? Really depends what the breakdown of transactions is. Saturday is still pretty normal. I wouldn't be panicking yet.

We have about 6 cards between us and have been tracking all the purchases. I realised yesterday that I've hit 10 purchases on my main card so told myself to start using one of the other cards. Anyway this morning went to grab food and mistakenly used the main card but still got the shop small email. Wondering if the credit will come through.

  From my experience no. I did that once, like you by accident, and it activated the email but no credit. Of course, this was 5 years ago, and your mileage may vary.
Ash-Say on 24/07/2020 - 11:09

Opal top up has been nightmare due to $20 minimum reload. Most of news-agencies or shops don't like splitting the payment so have to spend $20 to get $5 cashback.

In case anyone else was wondering, it's not possible to use all 10 Shop Small credits on a particular card and request for a lost card replacement (which comes with a new card number) then try and register the new card via manual enrolment.

The enrolment page returned a message that my account was already registered for this offer however the offer is not currently showing in my Saved to Card offers tab.
- apple0604 on 27/07/2020 - 15:32
  
  As far as I understand lost card replacement still carries the same account number although new card has a new card number. The system identifies the same account. This is my experience with Westpac cards (2) and 28 degrees card.
  - daanish on 27/07/2020 - 15:37
    
    I'd imagine you're right and that's what's happened.
    
    I honestly would've been very surprised if it worked but I needed a replacement card anyway since mine has gotten a bit banged up so I figured I'd try my luck.
    - apple0604 on 27/07/2020 - 15:44
      
      I had Westpac Altitude Platinum card in the past and Westpac waived fees for life. Then Westpac upgraded the card and wanted us to sign up for Westpac Black with much higher annual card fee. But in our case account would be identified as the same account and everything else (ie card number, card type from VISA to MC, etc) changed. We were never charged annual card fee.

I don't know if it's because of lockdown, but I'm finding shop small uninspiring in Melbourne.

Has anyone done a multiple card myki top up this year? I'm guessing most of the places are in the city…

Head's up for anyone thinking of going to Spar, Shop 6, 7-9 Gibbons Street, Redfern NSW for Opal top ups:

It appears this is no longer a Spar and has changed its name to Redfern Foodhall. They allow split payment for Opal top up (ie, using 2 Amex cards for a $20 top up) but they are checking ID. I received statement credits for June transactions that show up as "Spar", but not for last week's transactions which show up as "Redfern Foodhall". I submitted a name update on Shop Small map and also had online chat with Amex. They said they have escalated it to their marketing team to confirm if it's still eligible for Shop Small.

    Any chance you can confirm that credits still show up even now that spar (or the new name) isn’t showing up on the shop small map?
    
    Thanks

Getting generic emails again 'thanking you for supporting'. Business name not mentioned.

  Can confirm I also got a generic email today. Used a supplementary card today and got the same. Said card was never used at the shop previously.

Tapped my Amex at a listed shop small place before they said "ah sorry no Amex" and pointed to a handwritten bit of paper on the POS machine which I couldn't see while they were holding it. Transaction approved anyway and got the email.

They didn't have any card surcharge - does the "no Amex" thing this just mean that they don't want to cop a higher processing fee for Amex, or it genuinely shouldn't work?

  Likely the former

  Just merchants being a tightarse and not wanting to pay the higher fee.

Does anyone know if using my card at a shop with multiple franchise would give multiple credits? For e.g. Cannings in different suburbs
